Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.


Finally, I have committed to the new home theater system and need sub-woofers. My listening and theater space is about 16' x 14' but then total open space (kitchen in the back) is 16' x 32'. I would like to listen to non-dealer advise. Thank you.

Mcintosh MC1.2Kw x 2

Wilson Audio Alexia - Front Left and Right Speakers
Wilson Audio Mezzo - Center Speaker
Wilson Audio Sophia - Side and Rear Surround Sound Speakers
Origin Acoustic D88 - Atmos Speakers

I like the REL and the JL Audio but JL Audio is my primary choice. The question is 2 x 12" or 2 x 10" or single Dual 12"? The stereo dealer told me 10" would blend in better with music while HT dealer says 12" will have better effect because even my listening space is mall but overall room is large.

Your thought please? I need decision by tomorrow so I can close the final piece. Thank you.

Dave,

     Thanks for the link.  Unfortunately, I found Raul's posts somewhat incomprehensible at times.  But that didn't stop me from posting a lengthy post on his thread earlier this afternoon spreading the word on distributed bass array systems.  I can't seem to help myself and you are now officially an enabler.

Thanks,
  Tim

In case anyone is interested, here's a professional review of the distributed bass array system I posted about earlier on this thread:
   
AudioKinesis Swarm Subwoofer System | The Absolute Sound

 This is actually about Duke Lejeune’s Swarm system but it’s virtually identical to James Romeyn’s Debra system that I own; exact same 4 (1 sq. ft. footprint by 2 ft. tall 4 ohm) subs with 10" drivers, 1,000 watt class A/B ampifier along with the exact same setup procedure and wiring method.

David Gage of Deep sea sound makes the best Sub that i have ever heard .
He happens to be right here in my town of Knoxville,TN.
I have had the  MARIANA 24SC 24" SUBWOOFER in my house   for a Demo.
Unreal clean output to about down to 6-7 Hz in my room.
Right now i think they are one of the best subs out there, period.

I personally love how Richard Vandersteen goes about making his subs. Both the WQ as well as his newer high end one that goes with the 7mkII's or any other higher end speaker you may be using.  Matches so well with other top end full range speakers.
